Setting up preferred assessments

Configure your clinic's default assessment tools for each condition domain so HiBoop recommends the right instruments automatically.

1 min read · Updated June 26, 2025

Preferred assessments are the default full-length instruments HiBoop assigns when a patient's prescreen results flag a specific condition domain. Setting these up ensures consistency across your clinic and avoids manual selection on a per-patient basis.

How to configure preferred assessments

  1. Go to Settings > Assessment Form
  2. Scroll to the Preferred Assessments section
  3. For each condition category listed (e.g., Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Substance Use), click the dropdown
  4. Select your preferred instrument from the available validated tools
  5. Click Save at the bottom of the page

Notes

  • Preferred assessments apply clinic-wide, they affect all patients unless overridden manually on an individual assessment
  • Clinicians can still swap instruments for specific patients when clinically appropriate
  • If no preferred assessment is set for a domain, HiBoop will use its default recommendation based on the assessment library
